For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas; though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. Selah.

How this collection was chosen
Read with care
The collection brings together psalms, prophetic writing, Jesus’ prayer, and New Testament letters. Some passages describe spiritual protection, while others speak of danger in ordinary life.
Psalm 91 uses the language of poetry and was quoted during Jesus’ temptation in Matthew 4. Read both contexts before treating it as a literal guarantee of physical safety.
How to use these passages
Notice whether the passage is a prayer, a poem, a teaching, or a promise to a particular audience. That distinction helps prevent a comforting image from becoming a claim that no harm can happen. Follow the chapter link for its fuller setting.
